Sacrament of Light: Part 2 Spring 2027

Few, if any, sacraments provide the depth, intimacy and versatility like the Sacrament of Light. From the subtlest energetic and somatic expressions to the mystery of one's own dissolution, the 5-MeO sacrament invites profound divine connection, healing, and wisdom for one's whole being. In Part 2 of the Sacrament of Light's initiatory practicum, students learn to cultivate a safe and skillful ministry with this powerful sacrament. Building on a foundational understanding of 5-Meo and its low dose, titrated administration, this phase explores the nuances of holding space for others, advanced ethical discernment, 5's unique safety considerations, and the preparation and integration practices that anchor mystical insight into embodied daily life.

Small Group Integration

Integration is the most important part of ceremonial work. It's where you allow the teachings to become part of your lived experience. Working together on our own healing and expansion is also a beautiful and powerful way to build community connections. We've created this Integration series with the intention to support both your individual unfolding along the Awakening Path as well as build community as you go. In this series you'll find Integration Support Resources. Many are videos from the Congregation's Lead Integration Coach, Catherine Board.

Ethics, Power, and Shadow: Relational Ethics Intensive July 2027

ETHC 652 – Ethics, Power, and Shadow Credits: 2 This course explores where ethical harm most often emerges: in the charged places where unexamined wounds, power, money, sexuality, caste, and dual relationships shape care. Drawing on bioethics, depth psychology, eco-philosophy, and contemplative traditions, students learn to recognize projection, navigate power differentials, and act from grounded inner authority. Through experiential, relational practice, students examine personal, somatic, and cultural dimensions of shadow, including equity, access, and cultural dynamics in entheogenic communities. The course also develops skills for relational repair and for understanding how power operates within practitioners and the broader field. Format: 4-day in-person intensive in the Oakland, CA, with one live virtual orientation session before and one integration session after.

Ethics and Embodied Ways of Knowing: Relational Ethics Intensive January 2027

ETHC 651 – Ethics and Embodied Ways of Knowing Credits: 2 What does it mean to be in right relationship as a minister when those who trust you are in some of their most vulnerable moments? This four-day intensive explores the essential skills of embodied attunement and ethical discernment that ministers need when holding sacred space. We will explore power dynamics unique to expanded states and inherent in the ministerial relationship. Moving beyond traditional bioethics, we integrate wisdom from ecophilosophy, phenomenology, and the more than human world to develop authentic ethical practices grounded in somatic and intuitive knowledge. Format: 4-day in-person non-residential intensive in the San Francisco Bay Area, with two live virtual meetings to support orientation and integration, one before and one after the in-person session.
